Daffodils Gone Wild

 Daffodils Gone Wild
I found these growing wild in the woods.

Daffodils (Narcissus) may be the most popular of all spring-blooming bulbs. The classic is the yellow daffodil, with its big ruffled trumpet. These spring-flowering bulbs multiply quickly and return to bloom year after year. They are not fussy about soil, will grow in sun or shade and are not bothered by deer and other critters. Though yellow is by far the most common color for daffodils, the flowers also come in white, cream, orange and even pink. There are many different flower styles, including trumpets, doubles, split-cups, short cups and miniatures.

Narcissus is the Latin name or botanical name for all daffodils, and daffodil is the common name for all members of the genus Narcissus. The American Daffodil Society recommends the name daffodil except for scientific writing. Often confused with the use of narcissus and daffodil is the term jonquil, which is a specific type of daffodil with dark green leaves and clusters of several small and fragrant flowers, different from the daffodil's one flower and flat leaves.
